narbilu Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 As Nar Bilu and his troops reached the centre of the Dune Sea, sandstorms erupted from all directions at once. Nar stared at the sun, standing still for what seemed for ages. The troops became impatient, until the storms subsided. Nar marked a spot with a stick in the loose sand. He commanded the troops to take whatever is useable from the giant lizards saddlebag to start digging. He pointed to a few other men to set up a tent. By the time night set in the diggers stumbled on hard rock. The tent was moved to this spot, where the men continued revealing the structure under the dune. Finally they found something that could be a ceiling of something. When the area was cleared, Nar Bilu stepped forward, he pounded his axe on the hard surface. It cracked and a portion of the stone crumbled and fell ten feet down. Another storm forced the army all to enter the sinkhole for shelter. Nar took all night to search the corridors, until he found what he was looking for. A jewel in the shape of a serpent eye. When he lifted the gem of the peddle stool it was presented on, a bright flash filled every corner of the corridors. A crushing pain flowed through the veins of every soldier present. Some fell on their knees, others just screamed it out, until their throats were soar. Finally they dropped on the floor unconscious, Nar included. When the whispers of the wind fainted, the men woke up. Different, stronger, fearless. Everything that would make them feared by most opponents. The last piece of the curse of the Wingless Serpents Legend was fulfilled. Nar Bilu decided that this corridors would become a safe haven for his army. He ordered a few men to stay behind and secure the base, while he would continue his quest in Kaliphlin. (pictures of the cursed will be up next week, awaiting brick link order) Quote
Jacob Nion Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) great catacombs! Adding a second level to the build is a great idea to make a desert terrain more interesting. Edited April 5, 2015 by Jacob Nion Quote
Yzalirk Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Nice job on the catacombs and the surface looks good too. Quote
MiloNelsiano Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Ive been waiting for these helmets to appear in GOH (may have missed them somewhere else) but I pictured them on Desert King troops. I'm planning on using one on a character in the near future. The build looks good, though one could argue theres a few plain places. You did include some nice details tho. Keep it up! Quote
Balbo Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Very nice story and creation I like how you made the catacombs! The minifigures look great, too. Quote
LittleJohn Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Fantastic entry! The sand and tree are excellent Quote
robuko Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I really like how your wingless serpents story is developing. Very good idea to use the catacombs and a very well executed build. I think your lighting is a bit too strong though Quote
Garmadon Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Great to see another entry narbilu, excellent idea with the catacombs! Nice job on the landscaping as well! Quote
narbilu Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 I think your lighting is a bit too strong though I photographed it with the first spring sun we had... Quote
Kai NRG Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 A great idea with the double level, well executed too! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I like the multi level approach, and that tree does look really neat Cool tomb design as well Quote
Tomsche Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 That's a fantastic build, love the catacombs and the entrance is greatly done Quote
